A Level Headed Chemist.

What might haye proved very trag-
ical occurrence was adrotly nipped in
the hrd the other day by a Partisan
chemist. An elegantly dressed young
woman, wearing thick veil over her
face, went into Pharmaceutical estab-
lishment at Clchy and asked for a
phial of yitrio. The chemist, who's e
suspicious were aroused by the myster-
ious manner of his fair customer, asked
her some questions, to which she re-
turned evasive replies. He then gave
her, instead Of vitriol, bottle of per-
TUNED water, and directed man to
follow the fair damsel and to watch her
movements The amateur detective
did so, and soon saw the woman take
up her position at a street corner, phial
in hand. After having carefully un-
corked the bottle, she waited, and, as a
young man well-known in the neighbor-
hood passed by, she flung it's contents,
with yell of triumph, in his face. The
man received the perfumed water in his
eyes, but, although 1t only made him
smart for moment, he roared like a
bull of Bashan, and cried out that he
was blinded forever. Meanwhile, the
emulator of Marie Beer, who thought
she had inflicted terrible punishment
on her false hearted Adonis, ran away
with the speed of an Atlanta, vainly
pursued by some of the bystanders who
had witnessed the scene. The chemists
man, however, set every body's mind at
ease by describing the pious fraud en-
ployed by bis master for the prevention
of another Partisan drama. - BoSton

Sherman and the Youngest Soldier

Sherman and the Youngest Soldier
General Sherman is famous for his
brusque manners. He has never al
lowed the effete and luXuriant East 10
tame his wild Western nature. A few
years ago he was at a big meeting of
the Grand Army of the Republic at St.
Louis, when young man approached
him and said:
General, you don't know me, but l
have known you for long time. [ sup
pose I was the youngest soldier who
served with you during the war, and l
want to shake hands with my old COM
mander.' Gen. Sherman looked at the
young man a moment and said, MY
friend, I suppose at least 1000 men have
claimed the honor of being the young
est of my soldiers. How old were you
when you entered the service =
Il was just 49, was the response.
We'll, if you were only 49, said Gen.
eral Sherman. 'all [ have to say is that
you had better stayed at home with
your mother

How They Managed.

Pack up your things as soon as you
please. my dear said Mr.. Chesney.
We're going to move on Saturday,
Mr.. and Mrs. Chesney were matri-
monial firm-there was no question
about that-but Mrs Chesney had al
ways been a silent partner in the same.

bright-eyed girl of seventeen, 81 won't

ney, with little start.
Into the country said the family
autocrat. I'm tired of this city busi-
ness. 1t costs great deal more than
it comes to. I'm told you eau live at
half the expense in the country
But gasped Mrs. Chesney, what
is TO become of the children's educa-
ton p
There's very good district school in
the neighborhood, not mere than a mile
distant explained her husband, 'and
exercise will do them good.'
sAnd what are we to do for society p
'Pshaw y said Chesney. Il would
not give rap for people who can't be
society for themselves. There'll be the
housework to do. you know-nobody
keeps girl i'll the country-and plenty
of chores about the place for Will and
Spencer. l shall keep horse. if l can
get one cheap, foI the station is half a
a mile from the place. and I've bar
gained for a couple of cows and some
pigs
Will and Spencer looked askance at
each other.
'It'll do us good to walk mile to
school, muttered the elder !; but faith
er must have horse to carry h Im half
a mile to station
That's fathers logic all over,' OBJ
served Spencer.
While Mr.. Chesney explained to his
wife the various advantages which
were to accrue from the promised
moye.
It's unfortunate, said be, that El-
ma and Rosie arn't boys. Such lot
of women folks ale enough to swamp
any family. Men, now, can always
earn their own bread. But we must
try to make everybody useful in some
way or other. It's so healthy, you
know added he. And the rent won't
be hall of what we pay here.
Are their any modern conveniences
abont the place ? timdly inquired
Mrs. Chesney.
There's spring of excellent water
about hundred yards from the house,
said her husband
Mrs. Chesney glsw pale.
Have l got to walk hundred yards
for every drop of water l want = said
she.
And a large rain-water hogshead
under the eaYes of the house," added
Mr.. Chesney. And I've already got a
bargain in kerosene lamps. AS for
candles, am given to understand that
the good housekeepers thereabouts
make 'em themselves in tin molds.
There's nothing like economy. Now l
do beg to know Abigail he added,
irritably, what are you looking so
lackadaisical about ? Do you expect TO
sit still and fold your hands, while [ do
all the work ? Give me woman for

Il am not lazy, George, said the poor
wife, with a bewildered air /; 'but-all
this is so new and strange at first. But

their mother shed many salt tear in

Papa, she said, you must not speak
to mamma 50. Mamma would not

ey that we haye earned ourselves.
There Now !"
Mr.. Chesney stared at the girl with
incredelous eyes.
And if you dom believe it, come
aud see how said EIma, ninging down
her towel. Mary Penn showed US.
She told us everything, and gave us the
first swarm of bees. There are four
teen hives down under the south wall
Spencer sold tae honey for us and we
planted all the nice flowers that grow
down in the meadow, that you said
was too stony and barren even for the
sheep to pasture upon, and Will dug
and hoed around them after the chores
were all done, and we sent boxes and
bouquets of lilies and Yerbenas to the
city every day by Mr.. Penn's wagon.

fore the sun was up, and got cherries
out of the old lane, and the money is
all ours-every cent of i; y
Honey, ELI p said Mr. Ches ney, star
ing az the row Of hives, for FL ma had
dragged him out into the November
moonlight to the scene OF action.
We'll, I've seen these many time. but
| always s'posed they belonged to
Squire Penn's folks. And flowers, and
wild berries ! Didn't think there was
so much money in 'em. Guess I'll try
the business myself next year. Queer
that the women folks should have got
the start of me y
And after that he regarded his family
with more respect. The mere fact
that they could earn money had elsva-
ted them immensely in his sight.
But when spring came he lost his
able coadjutor.
Miss Elma incidentally announced
to him one day that she was going TO
be married to Walter Penn the next
week.
And mamma is coming to live with
u.s. added Elma. she can't stand the
damp house and this hard work any
longer
But Mrs. Chesney did not 60 to the
Penn Farm. Mr.. Chesney hired
stout serving mad, and laid drain
pipes under the Kitchen stoop.
If his wife really understood her bus

keep her we'll and active, he considered.
Il couldn't well leave papa, you
know said Mrs. Chesney 10 Elma.

is dry, we shall get along nicely. |

Nor I,either,' said Elna. And oh,
mamma, shall always love those bee
hives under the holly y-hocks. for it was
there that Walter asked me to be his
wife =
And Mrs. Chesney tearfully kissed
her daughter. She. too, had been hap

1t was to be hoped that Walter Penn

A Modern Xantippe.

jim Akers was a small, tow-headed, +,
knock -kneed man, with irregular teeth /,
which made his mouth look like a steel
trap twisted out of plumb, says the
"Southern Biyouac." His wife was
large, raw-boned woman, fully head
taller and fifty pounds heavier than
Jim. She had the temper of half
famished wildcat, and no darky just
"gittln' religion" was eyer half as much
afraid of the devil as Jim was of her i;
he had reason to be. When she was
fairly on the war.path she breathed
chain lightning and flung cyclones from
the Zip of her tongue. Nor did she con-
tent herself with words only, however
bitter and furious. She very often
brushed the poor little wretch with
hickory until he felt as if he had bor-
rowed. his back of a saint fresh from
the grindiron.
One bright, golden, delicious after
noon in the latter part of May, jim left
the patch where he had been hard at
work all day and "snuck cen" to his
cabin by the back way. He proceeded
hastily to doff his every day clothes and
don his Sunday garments, casting fur
tive glances all the while at the black
browed, terrible dame sitting in the
front doorway knitting. With trem-
bling haste he completed his prepara-
tions and was shambling out again,
when his wife, previously apparently of
his presence, shot fierce glance at
him, which made him jump almost out
of his shoes and brought the perspira-
tion out from every pore.
'Whar you boun' fur p she asked.
Il lowed | wuZ gwine down to the
fish-fry fur hour or two. Them boys
is a hevin'-'
well, you flowed wrong. You jest
hste off them close and 60 back inter
that patch and finish hoein' them per-
taters. Don't you distress yerself bout

But l tole the boys wuz gwine to
be thar
'Well, you tole 'em lie.'
But Ed Sykes and Hank Evans is
waitin' fur me now at the cross roads,
and I'd ruther not disappoiDt 'em.'
We'll, I'd ruther you would. Shet
up, now, and do eZ you're told
Jim gasped and quaked with fear
but, for the first time in many years, he
thoroughly realized the tyranny under
which he was crushed. His heart was
set on going to a fish-fry, and in that
feeble, nuttering little organ "a faint
shadow, dim eidolon of spirit became
suddenly aroused. He hesitated mo-
ment, ventured even to return the gaze
of those glowing, wrathful eyes, and
then started, saying:
We'll, Pm a-gwine.'

She swooped on him like an owl on a
mouse. The air was filled and darkcn-
ed with dust and sandy hair and ago.
nizing shrieks.
Ed Sykes and Hank Evans, at the
crossroads" became convinced that
Jim's cabin had caught fire, and that
he was perishlng IN the flames. They
rushed in all haste to his assistance,
but as they neared the spot the clatter
subsl ded, and they heard stern, femI-
nine voice, which caused them to halt
and keep out of sight, say
Now 1 reckon you'll do ez ger tole.'
Then they recognized Jim's piping
voice. protesting between convulsive
sobs :
I'D sorter give out gwine befo' you
spoke
